Chainsaw won't run

Chainsaw been in storage for about six months with stabilizer in gas. It ran ok before storage but now it won't run. It starts ok than died immediately in full or no choke. Its starts and runs very fast with half choke than dies within 5 seconds. Give it a little throttle it runs rough for 5 seconds than died. Full throttle dies immediately. Any ideas?

Clogged jets happen sometimes even with fuel stabilizer. The fast run on half choke is called a lean rev unique to two stroke engines with a too lean mix. Put fresh gas in it if you haven't already. If you're handy with a wrench you may want to pull the carb and clean it thoroughly.
